Show your very first scrollsaw project

[Sawdust Dave]

I thought it would be fun to see everyones very first project.
Mine was this owl cut from a Lora Irish pattern several years ago.



How about yours?

Hey Dave, Sorry but I don't have a picture of it. It was an eagle That I cut about 12 or 13 years ago!

Mine was this clock I made over 30 years ago. Had to put in a new movement and a fresh coat of ploy last year.

Mine was this Hummer Segmentation Picture 8" x 10"

[Rapid Roger]

This  was my first try several years (7or8) ago. It is a pattern that was in a scroll saw magazine at the time. I cut it out of 3/4" plywood and I painted  1/4" backer board red, and blue in the right places. The saw was my first one which was a $100.00 Tradesman from Ace Hardware.
It is now owned by family friend and hangs next to the front door of his home.

Don't have pictures, but first project was a letter holder (mail) that had a couple heart cutouts and one overlay on front, with some very simple curves on the side.  If I remember right, it took me quite a while to get the hearts right, but then again, I didn't have a place like this to get advice on the right techniques!

I think mine was the coyote and cactus from a Spielman book 10 years ago. Been hooked ever since. Bobby

I sure can't remember either , but I didn't start taking pictures of my projects until a couple of years ago ............

My very first project was done on the Dremel and from balsa wood since it was all I could find, that is until I started other projects.  LOL.  These are what I called Scroll Saw bears.  Do not remember where I got the pattern, but it was very simple.  I made ornaments and of course gave many away.

Hey Cherie those are cute/neat, might have to try to duplicate them. LOL.

I have the pattern, unfortunately I made the body parts into templates on Masonite and traced onto the wood.  That was before I knew what I was doing.  LOL

[boxmaker]

Sorry I do not have a pic either, but it was a simple rabbit pattern.

Got my first saw in Oct.  This is one of the first things I made.  I found this piece of wood in the scrape pile at Home Depot and put it in my purse and took it home.  If you look you can see where I altered the pattern by cutting off the back claw !!!

[Dawie]

Haven't got a pic either, but it was a simple nativity scene. I started out on practising some alpabeth letters first.
Cherie I think your bears come out of a book by one of the Spielman family if I am not mistaken it is in "scroll saw pattern book"
